Episode notes
Story-Based Learning
- Learn languages through story-based input, focusing on compelling listening and reading materials.
- Let speaking emerge naturally as a consequence of understanding, rather than rote memorization.
Subtle Progress
- Progress in story-based learning is subtle and noticeable over weeks, not days or hours.
- This contrasts with traditional methods that offer instant gratification but don't reliably translate to fluency.
Learning Routine
- Choose compelling materials slightly above your level, with corresponding audio.
- Repeatedly read and listen, letting understanding fill in gaps, and recycle materials for deeper absorption.
